Mr. Mendes

Hello There.

Lexi.

I laid down in my bed looking through my phone trying to contemplate what happened at school today. I was completely embarrassed in front of the whole class.

I honestly didn't know what was wrong with Shawn but I could sense the tension between me and him especially when I was with Mark. I get that he has feelings for me, but I can't process it.

Whenever I try to, they always get stuck somewhere and never seem to leave my brain. He's like this drug that I can't get away from nor would I ever want to.

Whatever he does it always seems to suck me in. Although I'm with Mark, some part of me tells me that I'm making the wrong choice. Like something bad could eventually happen.

I don't fully understand it sense Mark is such a sweetheart and I know he would never hurt me. But with Shawn, you already know he won't. You know he would care for you until the world ends and he doesn't care what kind of person you are.

As if it were some kind of sign, my phone went off and I saw a text from Mark.

Mark: Hey beautiful x

I smiled to myself and quickly typed back.

Alexis: Hey! How's school going? x

Mark: Lame without you. Mr. Mendes was such an ass to you today.

I could feel small tears form in my eyes as I recalled today and I didn't know why.

Alexis: I know I didn't know what I did to make him so pissy.

Mark: Well was he already mad when you talked to him about your assignments?

Alexis: No! He was completely fine until he saw me talking to you. :/

Mark: Sounds like our history teacher is jealous of our relationship. XD

Alexis: Haha yeah right!

Mark: Okay well I have to go to practice beautiful, but I'll call you later yeah? x

Alexis: You better ;)

Mark: Okay bye beautiful! x

I placed my phone back on my bed and thought to myself again. There was some pit in my stomach telling me that something bad was about to happen or at least already was.

I really wasn't the type of person to worry about a lot of things, but in this case I was. I finally got out of bed and went downstairs to check on my dad.

When I got downstairs I could hear someone else's voice in the living room.

Of course.

I walked in to see Mr. Mendes sitting next to my dad drinking a beer. As I entered, Shawn's eyes instantly met mine.

"Alexis," his voice mumbled and he stood up from the couch.

"Relax, you can sit down, I just came to check on my dad Mr. Mendes," I said and went into the kitchen to grab my dads medication.

"Well aren't you sweet," my dad hummed and I smiled slightly to myself.

I'll admit I was in a happy mood, but not completely. I could feel Shawn's eyes boiling in my back as I reached up to grab a glass to fill with water.

I walked back to the couch and handed my dad a glass of water as well as his pain killers.

"You know, you really shouldn't be drinking. After all, doctors orders," I said with a smirk and he chuckled a bit.

I could feel Shawn's eyes still burning into me as I looked at my dad.

"You always know what's best Alexis," he said and took the two pills.

"You know, whoever you end up with when you're older is sure going to be lucky to have you...right Shawn?" My dad said with a small laugh.

"Very lucky," Shawn mumbled and I could feel the tension between us start to grow.

"What's wrong Shawn? You seem flustered ever since Alexis walked in the room," my dad said and looked at me.

"Oh yeah sorry I'm not I just have to use the restroom really quick," he said and got up from the couch.

I looked at my dad who was looking up at me.

"Oh and also, before I forget, your mom and I have a business trip up in New York for a week or so, which means I'm leaving Shawn to take care of you," he said and my eyes widened.

"Dad, you don't have to I'm old enough to-" he cut me off by shaking his head.

"Nonsense. I just don't want you to be alone so he'll be staying in the guest room. You'll be fine, and I'm sure you'll be out with your friends," he said and I nodded.

I didn't bother saying anything else I just turned on my heels and walked up to my room again. When I approached my room, I saw that my door was closed.

When I went downstairs I could've sworn I didn't shut it. I slowly opened the door to find the one and only.

"Hello Shawn."
